adrian0719 220 Posted February 19, 2021 Just checked and my B-Team "Leftovers" seems to have been assigned the wrong Patricia Healey. Name on DDP is another actress Patricia Healy with no second E. Checked my initial submission email and I did have it spelt Healey (Humperdinck's wife/actress) so not trying to pull a fast one. Didn't know where else to post so hopefully someone can fix and thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,442 Posted February 19, 2021 1 minute ago, Grim Up North said: The climbers I believe this BBC article has now been updated to declare them dead? Is it a QO? Quote Missing climber Mohammad Ali Sadpara and two others who went missing earlier this month while attempting to scale the world's second-highest mountain have been officially declared dead. But Sadpara will be remembered as a versatile climber by the international community of mountaineers, and a hero in his native Pakistan. He is the only Pakistani to have climbed eight of the world's 14 highest mountains, and he made the first ever winter ascent of the world's ninth highest peak, Nanga Parbat. On Friday 5 February, he went missing along with two others - Iceland's John Snorri and Chile's Juan Pablo Mohr - while trying to climb K2, the world's second highest peak at 8,611m (28,251 ft) and also reputedly the deadliest. His son Sajid was also a member of the team and the idea was for the father-and-son duo to summit K2 without oxygen, a feat never done before in winter. But Sajid had to turn back from a spot called the Bottleneck - also known as the "death zone", some 300 metres from the top - after he felt sick. Afterwards, he helped military-led rescue teams scour the mountain for signs of his father and the other two men. On Thursday, the search was officially called off - and all three climbers declared dead. Precedent says...yes! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised it took the BBC so long. They went missing 14 days ago. It's not exactly like they stopped off somewhere for a cuppa with a yeti, is it? A brilliant DDP team idea GUN. Could have easily won you the DDP if the expedition had produced 3-4 more fatalities. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes unfortunately I didn’t have Mohr in my team. i was unlucky that so few actually attempted the final ascent - Tamara Lunger my joker turned back at camp 3 and a few others never got beyond base camp. Still they are all climbers and the year is young but I think they got QOs because of what they were attempting to do as much as who they are. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,970 Posted February 20, 2021 It has come to my attention that one extremely obvious case of "cancer bride" slipped through the cracks and got into the competition - because it was an old pick that didn't have to be added into the database and so slipped under the radar. Well, I replaced her now with a sub. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
